You need to use another computer.
1) Grab a blank CD ready to burn 2) Search online (google) for a Windows Commander CD; download the ISO image. 3) Search online for ISO burning software (good example is UltraISO). 4) put the blank CD in the burner drive; and wait for windows to ask what to do. Cancel the what to do window; go and browse for the ISO file (whereever you saved it), and right click on it, and select BURN to CD. 5) wait for the CD to write....
6) Put the freshly burned CD into the drive of your 'broken' computer; and restart the machine. 7) Upon restart, you should be prompted to start the computer from the CDROM, press any key to continue - say YES. wait for windows to boot from the CD, takes a while... 8) you should be presented with a 'similar to' windows desktop. 9) click on start>all programs>security tools>locker box. select the admin account, click on change password. go through the rest of the wizard and when you hit finish, the password for 'administrator' is set to "" (blank password).
restart the machine again (remove the cd from the drive) and boot into windows normally; login as administrator (no password) and you should be in. and able to reset user passwords through the windows control panel as per normal.

How do I bypass the password for windows 7 ultimate ?

if you are in win 7, go to control panel and look for user accounts. If you logged in as an administrator, you should be able to change the password there, if you know the origanal pw. If you are talking about the boot up password, that has to be cleared by changing the pin block on the mother board it self, but by doing so, it will reset the boot menu back to default.
